SAMUEL G. MGFARLAND, OF N EW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGN OR TO THE J. L. MOTT i IRON WORKS, OF SAME PLACE.

sLoP-SINK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,119, dated July 14, 1885.

Application filed September 1, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL G. MOFAR- LAND, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Slop-Sinks, and the following is declared to be a description of the same.

Cast-iron and porcelain basins and closets have been made with a Bushing-rim forming a part of said basin or closet; but in earthenware slop-sinks as heretofore made there has been no ready and efficient means of cleansing and flushing the interior sidewalls of the sink, and waste matters adhering upon the same are offensive and detrimental to health. l

My invention relates to a hollow cast-meta rim adapted to set upon the upper edge of an earthenware slop-sink, a packing of putty or similar material being placed between the metal rim and the upper edge of the sink and forming a water-tight joint, saidrim being.

held in place by screws passing through lugs on the rim and into wooden pegs in the earthenware sink. This metall rim is constructed with an internal water-channel with a mouth between the edge of the-plate that rests upon the rim of the sink and the inside flange of the flushing-rim, through which space the is a cross-section of the rim at the supplytightly down upon the filling of putty or similar material, f, between the rim A and sink B.

The plate g issecurely fastened to the rim A, and is provided with a threaded nipple, g',

and said nipple is connected bya coupling to the pipe from the supply-cistern, and the water from said cistern, after the pull has been operated, flows through the nipple g and spreads in the cap-plate g, and fills the water channel or chamber all around the rim A, and discharges through the space between the bottom b and flange d, and, flowing down the walls, washes andcleanses the sink from foreign matter, carrying the same into the sewerpipe in the usual manner.

My improved flushing-rim may be square,

oblong, or round, according to the shape of 6,5

the slop-sink.

I do not claim a hollow rim for a closet or sink, as such rims have been made of porcelain set upon the top edge of the sink. In other instances a hollow metallic rim has been held lto the closet-basin by a casethat extends In combination with an earthenware slopsink, a hollow metallic rim having an opening ormouth between the bottom and the internal flange, d, and a connection for the sup-.

ply-water pipe and lugs, and attaching-screws for connecting the metallic rim to the slopsink, such screws passinginto plugged holes in the sink, and putty or cement between the top of the earthenware and the hollow rim, substantially as set forth.

Signed by me this 23d day of August, A. D. 1884.
